This is a day of justice for Christine and her children and family.But from what I have read, Tia was not honest on the stand IMO. Therefore, her immunity would be null and void. Jr and she have a lot of answering to do IMO and McDermott needs to be publicly boiled for his statements about Christine IMO.

ITA ..IT sounded to me from the news reports Muffy kindly posted for us, that Tia is a lying wench. Saying she wasn't home..found the two chidren alone when she got home..huh..that was the next day Tia..not the night it happened b!tch. Oh and where are byrdie Johnson and the rest of the lying crew..Dominic...too.

I hope they all land in jail for lying and their part in this crime.

And how come the new State's Attorney is getting all the praise on the comments section of one of the articles..it was Joel Todd and the State police working with him that solved this..not Olgiby..I think I'll go back and leave a comment about that too.

::snipping2::"The only way Tia Johnson can get out of this and get (Jackson) out of this is to say (Hadel) confessed with no one else around," McFadden said. In earlier testimony, Johnson said Hadel told her on two separate occasions he had killed Sheddy. "Tia lied on Nov. 27, 2007; she lied to police on Feb. 23, 2010; and she lied to you yesterday on that stand."

Oglesby reminded jurors Johnson only testified because she was compelled by a court order to do so.

"Tia Johnson loves (Jackson), yes, but Justin Hadel is family," said Oglesby, offering a reason Johnson was reluctant to testify in the first place.

McFadden showed the jury a photograph of the gravesite where police found Sheddy in February 2010. On a nearby piece of wood, "Jr." -- Clarence Jackson's nickname -- was carved.

You may recall Tia was given use immunity so the state cannot use anything from her testimony or interviews, depositions, so unless she lied about a specific irrefutable and now criminal act, I am not saying she cannot be prosecuted, she can, but the evidence cannot be anything from her mouth.

I strongly believe Clarence 'Jr" Jackson was an accomplice, to Hadel, or more likely vice-versa, so to hear he is only charged as an accessory is disheartening to say the least. If found guilty, he will get a max of five years and serve half that.

I continue to balk at how this case was not prosecuted at the same time, even the jurors believed Junior was involved with her actual murder.

Wow Blink. I was beginning to doubt anything else would come along. Me of little faith. Although I agree Jackson was the murderer, so I wonder if Hadel will be a witness for the prosecution in hopes of getting a reduced sentence.Thanks for bring this to my attention. I need to pay better attention.

http://www.delmarvanow.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2012202220379 ::snipping2::Worcester County authorities charged Johnson on Feb. 16 with being an accessory to murder after the fact. Her bail was set at $500,000 when police apprehended her Feb. 17 on an arrest warrant, and she's been held without bond at the Wicomico County Detention Center.

Sheddy was from Sussex County but was last known to have been staying at the residence of Johnson and her boyfriend, Clarence Butch Jackson, whose nickname is Junior, according to police.

According to court documents, the trio brought Sheddy's body to the River House Inn, where the two men dug her grave.

The trio then allegedly got into a guest house on the property using a stolen key. For that reason, police also charged Johnson with fourth-degree burglary.

Clarence Butch Jackson, who police said goes by Junior, was arrested Feb. 22. He was taken before a District Court Commissioner Feb. 23, where a judge denied him bond. Police said Jackson confessed his involvement to police, and fingered Justin Michael Hadel, 20, as the killer. ::snipping2::

SNOW HILL -- Two people have arrested and charged after-the-fact with helping kill Christine Marie Sheddy.

Clarence Butch Jackson, who police said goes by 'Junior,' was arrested Feb. 22. He was taken before a District Court Commissioner Feb. 23, where a judge denied him bond.

Police said Jackson was among a trio who worked together to bury Sheddy, who had already been beaten to death, on the grounds of a Snow Hill bed and breakfast in 2007.

Justin Hadel, 20, has already been sent to prison for first-degree murder, and his cousin, Tia Johnson, was taken into custody in February and charged with being an accessory to her murder. ::snipping2::Jackson has a hearing set for March 16 in District Court.

It was through a failed plea obligation that Jr Jackson was able to be indicted by a grand jury yesterday and is now charged with first degree murder, as well as conspiracy to commit murder.

Tia Jackson, his long time girlfriend and cousin of Justin Hadel, is facing accessory after the fact charges in the removal and disposal of Christine Sheddys remains from the Byrd Rd farm where she was murdered.

Blink, this is a happy day!You and your team are precious in the sight of the Lord!Say a few of those potty mouth words for me lol!

Filed UnderWorcester County WCT-News SNOW HILL -- Two people accused of participating in the 2007 slaying of a Delaware woman were denied bail and are set to face murder and accessory charges at trial in June.

Deputy Worcester County State's Attorney Abigail Marsh said there are no allegations that Johnson participated in the "brutal" murder, but that Johnson "most certainly" aided in the cover-up and posed a flight risk.

"Christine Sheddy had her skull essentially bashed in by a shovel," Marsh said. Based on "the horrific nature of this crime," she asked the judge to deny bond for both ::snipping2::

I thought the trial was to start yesterday, but I am not seeing anything in the local media about it.I know there was to be a motions hearing last week, so maybe that changed the date of the trials. ::justice2NJ::
